A stаte envirоnmentаl аgency cоntracts with a private cоmpany to conduct inspections of industrial facilities and report violations. Because the agency has limited staff, it relies heavily on the contractor to carry out the inspections. As part of the contract, the agency requires the contractor to complete at least 500 inspections per month. The contractor risks losing the contract if it fails to meet this quota. Over time, inspectors report that meeting the quota requires them to complete inspections more quickly and spend less time investigating potential violations. Several supervisors at the contractor encourage their employees to prioritize the number of completed inspections over the quality of the inspections. Eventually, one inspector begins falsifying inspection reports to meet this monthly quota. Other employees are aware that questionable reports are being submitted but do not report the problem because they fear falling behind the quota. The falsified reports result in several facilities avoiding enforcement actions, and environmental damage occurs before the problem is discovered. Using the law of agency from class lecture, analyze the responsibility of the different actors in this scenario.
